Thanks for that - still learning, you know.

I ended up having to use Synaptic to install both tcl8.3 and a TK GUI toolkit, but it's now installed by changing the file's permissions to "Allow executing file as program". It was really the easiest way for me, because my mintInstall is tempermental, like I said - it installed Blender with no problem, but on aMSN it would get like a third of the way there and then just stop.
